Seven people were arrested and a police van was set alight during Bonfire Night violence in parts of Scotland. A police officer and an ambulance staff member suffered minor injuries after being attacked with fireworks while responding to an injured man in Glasgow, leading to the arrest of a 16-year-old boy. Police, members of the public, and fire service personnel were also targeted with fireworks in areas including Edinburgh, Clydebank, and other towns. The Scottish Fire and Rescue Service received more than 800 calls relating to fireworks and bonfires over a six-hour period. Authorities noted that the policing operation covering Halloween and Bonfire Night was one of the most complex and demanding in recent memory, with calls increasing compared to the previous year.
